Welcome to Derwent Reservoir

Derwent Reservoir is a stunning man-made lake located in the heart of Derbyshire. The reservoir was created in the early 20th century to supply water to the growing population of the nearby city of Sheffield. Today, it is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a range of activities such as fishing, sailing, and hiking. The reservoir is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful walk or a picnic with family and friends.

The reservoir is also home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, fish, and mammals. Visitors can spot a range of bird species, such as the great crested grebe, tufted duck, and goldeneye. The reservoir is also a popular spot for fishing, with anglers coming from far and wide to catch brown trout, rainbow trout, and pike. The surrounding woodland is home to a range of mammals, including deer, foxes, and badgers.

Derwent Reservoir is steeped in history, with the nearby village of Derwent being flooded to create the reservoir. The village was home to a small community of farmers and miners, and the remains of the village can still be seen today when the water levels are low. The reservoir was also used during World War II as a training ground for the famous Dambusters raid, with the pilots practicing low-level flying over the water. Today, visitors can learn more about the history of the reservoir at the nearby visitor center, which offers a range of exhibits and displays.
